Engaging Jumpdrives on a planet's surface

Hi folks,

just a short question. Can somebody tell me, what will happen, if a ship
tries to enter Jumpspace on the surface of a planet. Err... I do not mean,
what will happen to the ship! I'm interested in what happen to the planet?

Any suggestions ?

Some of the players in my campaigne told me:

We will make a program in the ship's computer, which will engage jumpdrive,
if we are not back till... They think, the planet will be destroyed (or
at least an area of 400 km^2.

Any comments ?

That's it, Juergen

P.S.: If the suggestion above is true, it should be a much easier way,
      to destruct a planet, than using high KE weapons. Simply use a small
      Scout/Seeker and engage his jumpdrives on a planet's surface.
